Ukraine War: The Congress also sought immediate end to all hostilities in Ukraine and called for creation of humanitarian corridors for safe evacuation of citizens.
The Congress on Monday expressed grave concern over the safety of Indian students in war-hit Ukraine, and asked the government to make all efforts to bring back citizens without indulging in "partisan propaganda".
The opposition party also sought immediate end to all hostilities in Ukraine and called for creation of humanitarian corridors for safe evacuation of citizens.
"The Congress party is alarmed and distressed over the escalation of military conflict in Ukraine. The loss of innocent lives, widespread destruction, mass exodus of people and the aggravated human sufferings is unacceptable. We remain gravely concerned about the safety of thousands of Indian students and citizens trapped in war zones," the Congress said in a statement.
"The Congress party earnestly appeals for an immediate end to all hostilities and the creation of geographically defined humanitarian corridors for safe evacuation respected by both sides. Russia, Ukraine and NATO must engage in sincere negotiations for restoring peace and a lasting resolution of all issues," the party also said.
